AZ23C36-AU_R1_000A1

Overview

The AZ23C36-AU_R1_000A1 is a dual surface mount Zener diode from the AZ23C2V4-AU series manufactured by Panjit International Inc. It features a common anode configuration within an SOT-23 molded plastic case. The nominal Zener voltage is 36 V, with a maximum Zener impedance of 90 Ohms at a test current of 5 mA and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at 27 V. The device supports a power dissipation rating of 300 mW and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and complies with EU RoHS directives.

Feature Summary

• Dual Zener diodes integrated in a single common anode package for space-efficient circuit design.
• Qualified for automotive applications under the AEC-Q101 standard.
• Manufactured using halogen-free green molding compound compliant with IEC61249 standards.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring dual independent references.
• Clamping applications for transient voltage suppression in low-power electronics.
• Biasing networks in signal processing equipment.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer's part number and lot tracking information against official Panjit documentation. Confirm that the received units match the specified SOT-23 package dimensions and marking codes. Ensure compliance with environmental directives such as RoHS if required for the specific assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Zener configuration with a shared anode terminal is required to minimize board space. The 300 mW power rating and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for general-purpose protection and regulation tasks. Verify that the 36 V breakdown voltage aligns with the target circuit requirements before integration.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AZ23C2V4-AU series, which encompasses dual Zener diodes with nominal voltages ranging from 2.4 V to 36 V. All members of this series share identical mechanical characteristics, including the SOT-23 package and 300 mW power dissipation capability, differing primarily in their electrical voltage specifications and marking codes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the dual common anode topology and SOT-23 footprint. Equivalent parts should offer comparable Zener impedance and leakage current characteristics at 36 V. Verify thermal resistance and package compatibility to ensure seamless substitution without redesigning the mounting pads.
